Font 1943

In 2009, the Fontbonne University Archives received a grant from Fontbonne Community Connection (FCC) to digitize
the 1926-1946 issues of The Font, the Fontbonne College
newspaper. FCC is a women's giving circle that funds projects proposed
by Fontbonne staff, faculty, students, and student organizations. The
grant proposals are a compilation of goals and dreams that are a
priority but are beyond
the scope of a current year's budget. We thank them for making access
to these issues a possibility!

In 2011, the Archives received a second grant from FCC to digitize the 1946-1963 issues of The Font and index all issues from 1926 through 1963. We thank them again for their generous support.

In 2013, the Archives received its third grant from the FCC to complete this project, which resulted in the digitization
of the final issues (1963-1968). This FCC grant also includes indexing of the last five years. The entire run of The Font is now accessible for future generations, and we cannot thank the FCC enough for making
this dream a reality and for recognizing the value in preserving this important part of Fontbonne’s history. Thank you FCC!
